I had issues with Google applications not being able to get a location lock after installing 4.2 gapps even though GPS works.
Apparently, with 4.2 you have to manually allow Google apps to gain access to location. You can enable this permission by:
-Do a factory reset and go through the setup wizard and check the option to allow Google to get location.
-In Google Now (Search)'s Settings, look for "Manage location settings".
-Or log into your Google account, go to "Settings -> Accounts -> Locations".
If you are already using a rom and flash a 4.2 gapps package, you need to make sure to enable this option otherwise Google apps like Maps will not be able to get a lock.

I rooted and installed CM7[.0.3]. I attempted to install gapps at the same time, but they didn't appear after I booted my NC with CM7. So I was wondering, how do I go about installing gapps at this point?
i'd like to know as well
Did you set up your wifi before installing gapps?
You will need to be connected to Wifi for them to show up. After you flashed them in CWM and are connected to wifi, usually a "set-up" type thing appears which allows you to log into your Google account and choose what specific applications you want installed.
If that doesn't happen, when connected to wifi, go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add account > Add Google Account. After this, hopefully the set up should run.
I tried adding an account, but for some reason I'm getting an error message.
CM7 v7.0.3 No Google Market
I have installed CM7 v 7.0.3 successfully, and tried first GAPPs v.20110307 then v.20110613. Neither produced the Google Market. I also cannot set up my gmail account nor my yahoo account. Wifi on and great signal. Tried install, and when no market, restored to factory nook. Reinstalled CM7 and Gapps, and still no market or prompt to set up the Google account. I've searched till my eyes are bleeding and I have yet to find a suitable answer that works. Not sure whether to give up or continue to troubleshoot. If you have a solution, please share it. Please provide detailed instructions since I am a noob and you know how we are.
Thanks...Liz

Reflash a stock rom, link https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tgz. Here is how you do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312.
As far as I searched, these are the solutions:
- check your phone date ("The SSL certificate contains a expiration date which would be compared against the system date of the Android system. If the system date is too far in the past or in the future, the validation would be failed, thus the connection cannot be established. This is a security measures of the HTTPS connection, so check your system date next time encountering such strange error message." as stated here)
- root and delete the file, as rabbit140 said
- do a factory reset
I've also found:
1. Open Settings.
2. Select Applications.
3. Select Manage Applications.
4. Tap the All tab, then scroll down and select Google Play Store.
5. Select Clear cache.
6. Back out of the screen and select Download Manager (May also be listed as “Downloads”).
7. Select Clear data.
8. Also clear data for Google Services Framework, Google Apps, Google Talk, and Checkin Service. Some users are reporting they had to clear data for the Browser app as well. You may not see all of these apps listed on your particular phone.
-------------------------------------------------------OR----------------------------------------------------
1) Remove sim card.
2) Go to settings->applications and clear everything (not just google apps)one by one.
3) Reboot the device
4) And add your google account.
Dunno if this can help.
Remove Sim card and go to backup and reset and do a factory data reset.
Than put your Sim card back in once you boot back up.

THANKS!!!
I thank all of you so much now my phone is back to itself...
All I did is I reflashed stock rom as @gee2012 suggested and it worked like a charm..
THANKSSSS EVERYONE WHO TRIED TO HELP ME NOW I HAVE MY PHONE BACK...:good::good:
I AM NOW
Basically I tried to force my phone to get the 4.3 OTA update by forcing Google System Framework to stop and clearing data/cache. It didn't work and it messed up Google Play.
Another website said to delete my Google account, restart my phone, delete play store data, and then add my account back. So I did that and it let my accounts sync which is good but I still can't download anything from the play store.
How do I fix it?
Try to similarly clear data and cache from both running applications
Google play services
Google play store
Then run play store and see what happens

I have exactly the same problem for the same reason. And, tried the same suggested steps without success.
There has to be a simple way to restore the download ability from the Google Play Store without wiping everything. The download error dialogs I get are all the same: "…could not be downloaded due to an error. [Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]
Are there any risks in restoring my phone? I can't seem to figure it out any other way, but I am worried something bad will happen if I restore it.

by restoring do you mean restoring an earlier nandroid through recovery?
I'm afraid there are risks with everything, although restoring is normally ok, although you won't guarantee that'll resolve the issue that you've currently got, you may also lose text messages and other system changes made post restore.
You could always take a backup before restore so that you have an additional safe point to return to if you decide that option although.
I'd be tempted to re try all the changes you've already done in one go (wiping the various three apps and also removing Google account), as in the past when I've experienced play store issues it's those type of changes that have resolved it rather than restore, which I'd normally use in the event of more severe problems ie corruption, data loss or bad Rom flash.
Fixed!
I believe I solved my own problem basically with a bunch of “Clear Data”s and reboots. Nothing major lost and no restore.
1. Settings > Apps > All (flick right) and find Google apps that are not downloading. Clear data (button). Also, find Google Services Framework and its Clear data (button). Reboot.
2. Settings > Accounts > Google > tap account name to view all items sync’d. Remove account (dropdown menu). Reboot.
3. Repeat the first step including the reboot.
4. Settings > Accounts > Add an account > Google. Existing (button) and select the account you previously removed. Reboot.
5. Wait a little, the problem apps should restore and begin their downloads to sync or update.
6. For some reason other Google apps remained a problem including Maps. Repeat the Clear data steps for these and the Google Services Framework. Remove Google account again. Select the existing account again.
7. Everything should now mostly be back to normal. Locations in Maps were all still there, but downloaded maps were gone.
Can someone help me? I did the force ota update way 4.3 jellybean by going options >apps> all > google services > clear data. Got 4.3 but now google playstore giving me errors trying to dl / install apps, notifications acting weird, etc. Read to delete my google account and reactivate it but don't know how to do that as I can't find an option under accounts to do that. I don't want to factory update ...Please help and thank u !

is it so hard to Google it?
Settings - accounts - Google - tap the account to remove - tap the three vertical dots and select " remove account"
then re add it. And yeah its all over the place but hopefully no more threads will be created for it.
About a month ago, I was having a problem with my Nexus 7 wanting to download/install a system update. I found a method online where I simply renamed /System/Etc/Security/otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak. This worked and all was good for a few weeks.
Now, despite still having the renamed file, I am getting notifications for a system update again. I googled the problem and it appears that Google Play Services is now including the update service which is re-enabled each time the app updates.
Is there a new and improved solution to keep the update from downloading/notifying/installing? I have re-purposed the tablet for a child and rooted the stock 4.4.2 software in order to avoid ads which are not always kid-friendly and also to allow disabling Google apps that I don't want my child to have access to. I could take the update, but that would require undoing all the mods, updating, re-rooting and re-applying changes. I would rather not invest the time for a child's device that is working smoothly otherwise.
Trying something I found on another site. We'll see how it goes:
Install "System application manager" from the Play store (http://bit.ly/1mf6etg)
Install "Disable Service" from Play Store (http://bit.ly/1mf6XKL)
Download "Google Play Services 4.3.25" which will be side-loaded in a future step (http://bit.ly/1mf2WpT)
Go to Settings>Apps>All and find Google Play Services. Wipe cache and data. Uninstall any updates (I had to disable Android Device Manager first)
Install the version of Google Play Services that you downloaded in step 3
Run "System application manger". Tap "Filter" near the top until is shows ">Updated<". You should see Google Play Services in the list. Tap on it, select Manage, then select Convert and move to System Apps
Reboot phone when conversion is done
Open "Disable Service" and go to System Apps section
Find Google Services Framework and tap it. Uncheck "SystemUpdateService" (may already be unchecked)
Find Google Play Services and tap it. Uncheck "SystemUpdateService"
Reboot device again and hopefully be done with OTA nagging
